Drafty windows letting in cold air — Alicante, Valencian Community
Drafty windows waste energy and make rooms uncomfortable. The problem can stem from deteriorating weatherstripping, failed window glazing seals (foggy double-pane glass), gaps in the caulking around the frame, or the window sash no longer closing tightly. In many cases, a handyman can replace weatherstripping, re-caulk the frame, and adjust hardware for a fraction of the cost of new windows. For failed insulated glass units or severely damaged frames, a window replacement may be the better long-term option.
